Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Audi S5

4. Sport Seats Leave Room for Improvement

The two buckets Audi offers in the S5 are a commanding presence. They’re comfortable and well bolstered, but at a $50,000 starting price, they seem lacking.

Greater adjustability like being able to widen or narrow those side bolsters would be appreciated, especially while taking a spirited corner.

There’s adjustable thigh support, but it’s manually controlled. While that isn’t a big deal overall, it defeats the purpose of having preset seat configurations.
